Super Joystiq Podcast 042: God of War Ascension, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, SimCity

This week's Super Joystiq Podcast is afraid that sharks will come out of its shower head.

The parade of March releases continues. In games, Xav, Richard, and Jess convene to talk God of War: Ascension, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Ridiculous Fishing, and the hot new jam – Dark Souls.

In news, Alexander, Jess, and Jordan start at the only logical point for a week like this: the ever-evolving state of SimCity. Also, a surprise expert guest drops in with an answer only he can provide, and Jordan goes deep on newly revealed Injustice: Gods Among Us characters. Poor Aquaman.

Be sure to catch the games segment recorded live on YouTube every Thursday. This week's edition can be seen on the Joystiq YouTube page, and after the break.
